Episode 30 - Your Life In Your Hands

I wonder about people sometimes. I wonder why people (myself included) constantly live in fear.

At whatever level.

Not fear of being maimed or killed in a road side bombing. Not fear of being attacked in the street for their outlandishly expensive mobile phone, nor fear being diagnosed with a wasting disease.

Even though the things above are just a few of the very reasonable things to be scared of, it is fear of yourself that paralyses nearly everyone on some level. Fear of being different, fear of not conforming, fear of sticking your neck out.

Fear of taking a chance.

Fear of taking control of your life.

Fear of taking the blame or taking the plaudits. Fear of liberation.

And I'm no different.
